Quote:The founders established the road map for the future through the 9th and 10th amendments. Just because we've gone off the rails doesn't mean it was intended to be this way. I realize you worship at the altar of government, but no matter how many times you sing the Barack Obama song at your little closet shrine he isn't going to save you from the realities of life. He's just a scumbag politician who wants to take as much from you as he can while he has the time. And it's ok, we're free to disagree, at least until I get audited for all this posting.

 

All that the ninth amendment does is clarify that the bill of rights isn't an exhaustive list of rights. The tenth amendment similarly only clarifies that what the legislation hasn't decided will be part of the federal government's role is allowed for decision of the individual states.

 

We've already been over this.

 

The constitution is clear, the legislative branch can expand the role of government as it sees fit in the interest of the general welfare of the people. It doesn't need any other part of the constitution to allow it.
